Anybody in here running Corel Draw X7 / 2017?

I'm looking for a copy of the export macro gms file. Trying to figure out if i have a corrupted file.

I am running ver 18 of RDWorks.
If you run later versions you have create a directory for the gms file.
However, this link provides the best process I have found to complete remove and re-install RDWorks to get the macro working.

Pete,

I'm running the .48 and .49 versions of RDWorks. They are Beta versions. I was hoping for somebody running .44 or better. Forgot to put that in the description.

I think I saw your stuff on a Corel / RDWorks fix. My problem seems to be in the macro, and if that is your stuff, reinstalling RDWorks is not an option. I had to do 'find path' to get the macro to install in the first place, and I'm not 100% if I installed the macro for X7 or X8. It should be X7, but I've been playing with things on four different computers so I won't guarantee anything. I have two gms files, one 44M and the other is 58M. Both produce the same error within Corel. Namely any time I switch to an active window or open a new one, it kicks out a MVB error. If I close a background window, or I'm closing the last open window and going to a blank desktop, no error.

Ruida is working on things from their end, but it's not a real high priority with them also working on the new camera feature. I thought I'd try a few things from my end just for grins. I've played and not made any progress, so I thought I'd ask for a fresh gms export file as a test.

Thanks, I have one by that name, but who knows if it's been corrupted some where along the way. Will give it a try and see what happens.

In some ways I'm hoping it takes them a while to figure out the macro problem. I like seeing the behind the scenes progress on the camera feature. The .49 isn't bad, but it still has a fair amount of either bugs or not intuitive things to it. Now if they just had some English documentation to go with it... LOL
